Jejuindi story
Kang Choon Il, the current CEO of Jejuinndi, was a natural dye specialist who was studying traditional dyeing methods under an Intangible Cultural Heritage title holder. One day, she visited her teacher and saw a group of mothers trying to get indigo water.
“What is that indigo water and why are you giving it to them?”
she asked out of curiosity.
The mothers who heard similar stories had come to get this traditional remedy for their children’s eczema. Kang’s own child also suffered from eczema, so she knew how it feels to have a child who scratches all night, not being able to sleep, and how painful it is to look at the wounds the next morning. She began making indigo water from the Polygonum Indigo plants she was growing and applied it to her child’s skin. This was the beginning of Jejuinndi.
After applying indigo water, her child began to sleep peacefully at night, and skin cleared visibly. Kang became certain that indigo water has remedial effects on eczema, and began to study indigo water. The research revealed that indigo water has long been used for skin conditions such as rashes. In Dongui Bogam, the Chosun Dynasty book on medicines that served as the ultimate medical guide for centuries, it is recorded that indigo water relieves stress and soothes fever or hotness. Kang continued her research with other experts.
Her passion about indigo did not stop with researching. She opened a farm to safely cultivate and harvest the best indigos. Now the farm not only houses indigos but all the herbs and flowers used for Jejuinndi products. All the plants in Jejuinndi farm are grown and harvested with delicate care so only the best ingredients can be used to produce Jejuinndi products for healty and beautiful skin.
